1 Sh RR Ae op Stee -NEVADA GITY NUGGET J t National Topics Interpreted by “William Bruckart a ———————————_—_SO Wasfiington.—Anyone who.atteinpts to interpret Washington news or nppraise ‘its effects meets a Dr. Wirt’s circuinstanee fre Charges quently where the onty course-is one of watchful waiting. There is no alterna tive. Complex situations must work out; ulterior purpeses must be dis closed to a slight degree, if there are such purposes, and some scent must be had of the factors and influences at work. Otherwise, appraisal of the botential effects usually will miss its mark under circumstances of that kind. Of such a type were the charges by Dr, William A, Wirt, the school superintendent from Gary, Ind. who as: serted that “brain trusters" of the Roosevelt administration were seeking . to overthrow our form of government and establish a communistic or’ Russian Soviet state in its place. Doctor Wirt's accusations came out of the blue sky, so to speak, because there Was no advance notice of them. Of course, there were thousands of per sons who were uneasy about the trend of events and the plans of the New Dealers, Apparently, however, most of them were unwilling to make themselves a target for the unbelieving by becoming™ vocal -about--their. opinions. . So, the setting in which Washington observers found themselves. was,. to Say the least, a new-one: With these facts in mind, . have awaited an exposition af Doctor Wirt’s charges before attempting to analyze them or to fit them into other things that have been happening to make a complete picture. His appearance before the house committee of inquiry left nothing to be desired in the dramatics. He was there, accompanied by that famed attorney, former Senator Jamies A. Reed of Missouri, which was, in itself, a surprise. And Doctor Wirt stood up agaliist “the” barrage of. attempts to discredit him! He never flinched; he fought back, and he was apparently convinced of his own findings, a fact that gave him added courage. Doctor Wirt wasted no words in telling of the famous party in a nearby Virginia home where Lawrence Todd, ~ Washington representative of the. Russian Soviet news agency “Tass” and several “satellites”. of the brain trust were at dinner with the Indiana educator. He quoted Todd as the authority for the statement that f’resident Roosevelt was the “Kerensky” of the present revolution and that presently Mr. Roosevelt would be supplanted by a “Stalin,” even as oc~¢urred in Russia. Of course, Mr. Todd has no part in the government, officialty, and: a. gande . : many of those who: scoffed: at Doctor Wirt originally contended the charges were just “baloney.* But tie: madethe statements under oath and their effect now is the thing with which we are concerned. for to say that the charges have had no effect is to make a statement that the moon is made of green cheese, . a ee To those of us whose job it Is to keep a finger on the pulse of public : sentiment, it has heen Reaction apparent for several Sets In months that a reaction against many of ‘the New Deal principles had set In, I, for one, however, was unable to gauge {1 accurately. 1 could not tell how deeply rooted these convictions were. it required some such incident as the Wirt charges to focus attention on the fact that there were doubters before most of us here could gain.an idea of the “oppositionist” movement that appeared to exist. Let me Say at this point, too, that it ts apparent Mr. Roosevelt is net the only target; the criticism seems to be more of the ideas prompted by his brain trust advisers than the President's own re form or recovery principles. There is a decided difference: one realizes,. between the two, for: oner group, itr. ther}: administration is prometing referm and another recovery, : Here is where the> wret: testimony becomes important in its effect. By making the charges, Doctor Wirt directed attention to the two schools of thought. In effect, he has called upon the country to distinguish hetween re. form and recovery programs, and has asked the question whether we shalt sacrifice recovery in. order that. reform ideas may be forced down the throats of those who find it difficult to swallow untried theories. There can be no. doubt that several millions of Americans who, heretofore, were willing to trust Mr. Roose velt to run the whole show, are now making individual examinations of the structure which the New Dealers have, or propose to, set up. I think it equally true as well that these examinations by individuals will result in a crystallizing of opinions more than has happened up to this time. They undoubtedly will find some good and some bad, some workable and some unworkable, items among the New Deal plans, That ought to be a wholesome thing for the country: History: seems to prove that a cross. seetionof our national mind is nearly: always: correct after the hysteria dies down. Tttus. the opinions I gather around Washington stress the importance of the re form that obviously 1s going to result from New Deal methods. But they emphasize equally the importance of the Wirt testimony ty balking-an onrush-. ing wave of so-cxtled reforms that so “many persens consider ter beactually destructive of the basic and. proved practices of our commerce and indus try, And, after all, that {s the point at issue in this country today. Doctor Wirt quoted Mr. Todd as having said that “Roosevelt is in midstream and the current ig too strong for him to turn back.” . still have faith in our system of government and . have more faith in a majority opinion of the people of the United States. Since PDoetor Wirt testified, they are on ‘thelr guard. It may be that the sun of the brain trust theorist is setting. CJ * s One more observation about the Wirt affair: in a long service in Washington, . have seen few Badly hearings us badly Muddled muddled by .a committee of congress. Each of the members of the committee knew, of course, that the atmosphere was surcharged with politi¢s, Some of the Democrats obviously were afraid that Doctor Wirt was go. ing to explode a bombshell of pollties that would do their party no good at all, and some of the Republicans were afraid that~ Doctor -Wirt. would _not explode. that. hombshell. Conse quently, there. was haggling without end. IT believe: the consensus among ithe hundred-odd correspondents who were reporting the hearing was that Representative Bulwinkle of North Carolina,-2 Democrat and the chairman, reflected no particular credit upon himself or the committee as inquisitors, Criticism of Representative McGugin, a Republican from Kanwent just as far In supporting the witness as Mr. Bulwinkle did in harrassing him, In the background of ‘the committee; haggling, stood the tall, gray-hnired figure of “Jim” Reed. Senator Reed, when he was in the senate, was probably the most feared of all debaters. His vitriolic retorts und cutting state ments seldom failed to make spines quiver. His presence as [doctor Wirt’s counsel failed at first to check Mr. Bulwinkle, but. the fact that he assurance of help in any battle of words, Certain evidence of people’s views always Is reflected in congress rather quickly after changes in sentiment take place, and it is no different now. There was a time during the first months of President Roosevelt's ad‘ministratien when. anything. he sent to cengress was put through, and ne questions were.asked. Currently, however, there Is a disposition. among ‘members of. beth. politival. parties. in. congress to inquire into the character of legislation they are putting through. For example, the bill that the Presi. dent wanted for controlling the se curity exchanges, like the New York Stock Exchange, was advertised by Democratic leaders at first as being ready to go through without questien. Mr. Roosevelt sald he wanted “teeth” in-it, and teeth were put in it, plenty of them. -[ndeed, the proposed legislation would have left little of the stock exchange to operate, Rigid control was a mild expression compared with that original stock market bill. s s s Stock exchange members, brokerage houses and plain investors suddenly awxkened to the fact Wake Up, that the bill was g0D ing to do things to Then Fight them. They started to fight. They found responsive chords In the house and senate. Reason and logic. as opponents of the bill under. stood those words, began to prevail and, presently, rumors of proposed changes In the measure began to crop up. And what's more, the changes be gan to he accepted by a majority of the -committees. that had the bill in charge; despite frequent’reiterations ‘by Senater:Fletcher, chairman of’the sen: sate banking committee, and. Chairman “Rayburn, of ttfe house Interstate Commerce committee, that the President wanted the teeth left in, i It is to be admitted, I think, that there was a lot of monkey-doodle bus!ness going on among some members of security exchanges, My belief is that they did not always give the individual investors in stocks a fair shake. But some of the reformers included in the administration’s brain trust appear to have overlooked the good in whatever amount it. exists in the stock exchanges, : But, to get to the point of the story. Many persons hold to the view that the geverninent should not spread a_parental wing too far over private offairs. It has been done already beyond the anticipation of a majority of the peo ple. They want to be free to deal in stocks, to speculate, even to gainble, it. you please, without having bureau. cracy here in Washington to tell them what to do. The legislation will go through eventually, Of that there is:no deubt, In its: final form; however, it will not be the handiwork of the reformers. There .willkc be. reforms. brought: aheut: byit: only they will be for the purposes of correcting abuses and not for the purpose of ng out theories on somebody’s monday. @ by Welt: Newspaper Union. 3 Eorireny Sao aap eee sas, also was heard, for Mr, McGugin™ was there provided Mr. McGugin with .

Then, just when we think we can write authoritatively about the new fabrics, she raises the question “Who said knits couldn't look like tweeds?” Anny. Blatt, Paris designer of knitwear, answers the question in handknit town clothes that feature diagonal stripes of dark, soft green woo] yarn and white cotton. And in New York Emmy Wylie re ceives fashion recognition as the newest American designer (there are like ly to-be others before we go to press —they’re springing up all around) who handles the tried and true yarns witb a light touch.
